Chapter 200 Rong Ge's Family Background
"Brother Yang, we're both tight-lipped, so you can speak freely!"
Fatty Lin leaned closer, patting his chest even though President Yang couldn't see him.
"OK!"
Mr. Yang coughed and said, "The person in charge of Yubo Capital is the grandson of that retired big boss in Shanghai!"
Holy crap!
Fatty Lin was startled and said, "Does he have such a powerful background?"
"Hehe, what do you guys think?"
Mr. Yang countered with a question, saying, "Li Guagua went to great lengths to get in touch with Yubo Capital. It's said he and Temasek Holdings jointly invested a billion dollars—and that's just the publicly disclosed amount. Nobody knows how much was invested behind the scenes!"
"A billion dollars, just to establish a connection!"
As Yang spoke, he remarked with emotion, "This is just the beginning. We don't know how much more will be invested later, but Li Guagua's actions have certainly secured his position. At least he won't be in trouble while that person is around!"
"It's not just him; every single one of the richest people on Hong Kong Island's rich lists has to pay the price!"
"However, the connections, factions, and the people who contribute all differ!"
"None of the well-known capital firms in China are simple entities; they're all backed by powerful figures or influential people!"
Mr. Yang got a little carried away and rambled on and on, mentioning things like the owner of a certain investment fund being the son-in-law of a big boss, and the CEO of a certain investment bank whose family was in finance during the Republic of China era.
At that moment, I had no idea that the two people Mr. Yang mentioned would both end up in prison more than a decade later.
"Brother, you really are my brother! You even tell us these insider secrets!"
Upon seeing this, Fatty Lin quickly flattered him.
That's just Yang's personality; when he gets carried away, he'll say anything.
"hey-hey!"
Mr. Yang smiled smugly and said, "Even if I ever fall on hard times, I can just go to Canada, expose all the capitalists there, write some memoirs, and I still won't starve!"
"Brother, don't do that! Be careful someone hires a hitman to kill you!" Fatty Lin advised.
"Fatty, let me tell you, the reason I'm not involved in those things is because I don't want to get involved. Otherwise, my assets would at least increase tenfold!" Boss Yang said smugly.
"Brother, you have great self-control. If it were me, I would have gotten involved long ago!" Fatty Lin said.
"It's not about composure, it's about understanding a principle: every new emperor brings a new court. Don't be fooled by how excited some people are now; they'll be held accountable sooner or later!" said President Yang.
"Brother, if you don't get involved, they won't do anything to you, will they?" Fatty Lin asked.
"My family has some old connections, some familial ties, and with the company listed in America, those people are somewhat wary!" President Yang chuckled, adding, "Besides, I don't get involved in any shady dealings, and I don't interfere with their profits. If they need money, I provide bridge financing. I have a wide network of connections, so there's no need for them to mess with me!"
"Brother, you live such a carefree life, with no shortage of money or women!" Fatty Lin exclaimed.
"I lack a goal!"
"I said quietly."
"Brother, don't overthink it. When we go back to Beijing sometime, we'll have that madman give you a few acupuncture treatments. Don't get depressed!" Fatty Lin said worriedly.
"Don't worry, your brother is living the good life!" said President Yang.
After Mr. Yang hung up the phone, Fatty Lin looked at me and said, "Crazy, why do I feel like Mr. Yang looks a bit down?"
"Mr. Yang is always partying every night, maybe he stayed out too late last night!" I didn't take it too seriously.
I know better than anyone that Yang loves to play and enjoys having fun.
"Too!"
Fatty Lin thought for a moment and nodded.
Four days later, Fenglin Hall opened for business.
The name was very simple, taken from both my surname and Lin Pangzi's surname.
The reason they were able to open so quickly is simple: money!
On the opening day, several of Hong Kong's wealthiest people sent flower baskets.
The big boss of Shui Fong and Brother Rong of Lao Lian even came in person, and all the top stars in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong also came.
Huang Dacheng and Long Qiang, these two old rivals, also came.
What surprised me most was that I saw Wang Zixuan among the people who came to congratulate me.
Wang Zixuan was brought here by director Wang Jingxiang.
After some time apart, Wang Zixuan's face had lost the naivety of their first meeting, and her every smile and frown carried a seductive charm.
"Master Feng, Master Lin, Sister Nini, it's been a long time!"
Upon seeing us, Wang Zixuan took the initiative to come forward and greet us.
Fatty Lin sized up Wang Zixuan and teased, "Wow, you've grown up!"
Wang Zixuan blushed, lowered her head, and looked slightly shy.
"Master Lin, we need to check if it's fully grown yet. I'll have Zixuan stay behind so you can examine it!" Wang Jingxiang's eyes darted around, revealing a knowing smile.
"Wang Pangzi, you really know how to handle things!" Rong Ge said, pointing at Wang Pangzi while holding a cigar.
"Brother Da Rong, I'm just using your flowers to present to Buddha!" Wang Jingxiang chuckled slyly.
"Director Wang, I'll give you a 20% discount on your movies from now on!" Fatty Lin said, patting Wang Jingxiang on the shoulder.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin!" Wang Jingxiang quickly expressed his gratitude.
I was watching from the side and couldn't stop clicking my tongue.
Ever since we gave Rong Ge some medicine at Fourth Aunt's request, he underwent a complete reversal. He went from seeing us as tigers to saying that we became friends after our fight and treating us like family.
Even regarding the incident involving "Rotten Boy Hua" a couple of days ago, he called us and said he wanted to meet with Ngee On's leader, Lung Yan, to sit down and talk with us.
I didn't quite believe it when Fourth Sister said that Brother Rong was loyal, but I believed it after that phone call.
Everyone knows that we shouldn't get involved in the Li family's affairs, and we certainly shouldn't mention anything about prolonging life. But he actually went and invited Long Yan out to talk to us.
He lived a life of smooth sailing, and while he was truly wicked, he was also genuinely good to his own people.
Fourth Wife's assessment of him was that he was just a spoiled brat who could only be flattered.
If you can make him happy, he'll do anything.
To put it bluntly, he had too much of a privileged upbringing, so much so that he never experienced any setbacks in his life.
Fourth Wife confided in us about his affairs.
His father was powerful, but his godfather was even more powerful.
His godfather, known as Brother Daju, was the founder of Lao Lian.
There are seven long-established families on Hong Kong Island, and the Lau family, whose godfather is Brother Wing and whose father is Brother Tai Kui, is one of them.
Everyone knows that Detective Lui Lok, who is also known as the Chief Detective of China, is the Chief Detective of China, while Big Koi's uncle was the first Chief Detective of China.
Big Kwan's brother-in-law is also the Chief Detective Inspector.
With two generations of Chief Detectives, uncle and nephew, and brothers-in-law, the Lau family's influence in the police force has lasted for decades.
With the addition of Brother Daju's old connections, the Liu family has influence in both the legitimate and underworld circles.
During that period, only the Liu family knew how much wealth and resources they had accumulated.
With this background, after Rong Ge inherited the old alliance and became the leader, he once overshadowed the Long family and was known as the most powerful underworld prince.
For the opening of Feng Lin Tang, Brother Rong gave us a big gift. He, together with Huang Dacheng and Long Qiang, decided that from now on, all the feng shui services for any movie filmed on Hong Kong Island will be contracted to Feng Lin Tang.
